Charter School Evaluation
SECTION 7.38.(a) Of the funds appropriated to State Aid to Local School thousand dollars ($50,000) a year for the 2009-2010 and 2010-2011 fiscal years shall be used by the North Carolina Center for Public Policy Research, Inc., to evaluate charter schools.
North Carolina has a number of highly respected experts in educational evaluation and none of them are employed by the NCCPPR.
School Calendar Pilot Program
SECTION 7.40. The State Board of Education shall establish a school calendar pilot program in the Wilkes County Schools. The purpose of the pilot program is to determine whether and to what extent a local school administrative extreme fiscal crisis by consolidating the school calendar.
It’s not a bad idea, but I would have preferred a pilot program that included additional school districts.
More Teachers in the Classroom
SECTION 7.41.(a) Session Law 2008-86 is repealed.
This law allowed school systems to assign teachers with National Board Certification to full-time mentor positions. Thankfully, that is off the table.
